Baked Adult Chicken Strips

I don't love meat, but I do love chicken strips. Who can resist "fried" chicken? This recipe is so good, has extra flavor and the perfect crunch, all without having to fry it in a ton of oil. This is the perfect addition to my Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese recipe!

2 large chicken breasts, cut in strips

1/2 cup milk

2 teaspoons garlic, minced

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs

1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

Directions: 

• Cut the chicken into long strips and place in a bowl. 
• Cover chicken with the milk, garlic, salt and pepper and put back in the fridge to marinate for at minimum 20 minutes (I did it for about 4 hours and it was great)
• In a shallow bowl, mix the parmesan cheese, both breadcrumbs, and seasonings.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray
• Take chicken and dip in the bread mixture, making sure to coat the chicken evenly. 
• Place on the pre-greased cookie sheet and put in the oven for 15 minutes, then turn the chicken over and cook another 10-15 minutes. When the chicken is firm to the touch, it is done. 
• Remove from the oven and eat!
